I wonder what the actual affect on people is of Subutex. If the effects generally are similar to pot, why bother regulating it? 30,000 people per year in the US die of alcohol related accidents and other issues, and 250,000 or so die of smoking related cancers. Yet they remain completely acceptable legal "drugs". I don't know off hand the number of deaths from illegal and misdirected drugs including violence but I am sure it's not a small number either. The inconsistency of treating each mind-altering substance is what makes little sense to me.
- coldcode 13y agoI found this: "The most common reported side effect of Subutex and Suboxone include: cold or flu-like symptoms, headaches, sweating, sleeping difficulties, nausea, mood swings. Like other opioids Subutex and Suboxone have been associated with respiratory depression (difficulty breathing) especially when combined with other depressants." Sounds like a hangover.
- girvo 13y agoThe effects are a feeling of pure (blissful) apathy, and warmness. Suboxone is very light on the side-effect front, compared to other opiates.
- gizzlon 13y ago30,000 people per year in the US die of alcohol related accidents That's kind of irrelevant since alcohol is much more widely available and used. The question is, what would happen if [insert drug] was legal and widespread? What effects would it have on individuals and society at large? [edited to make it less harsh]
